Natural beauty found while traveling the backroads of Figueroa Mountain near Los Olivos, California. It's amazing how a few wildflowers, a lovely natural environment, and a day of shooting with a friend can bring so much joy to a day!
***********************************************
Figueroa Mountain is part of the Los Padres
National Forest and is located near the quaint
little Scandinavian town of Solvang, and up
the mountain from Michael Jackson's famous
Neverland Ranch.
Wildflowers, snow season and summer campouts
are the seasonal high notes for Figueroa Mountain,
a wilderness paradise accessible from the Santa
Ynez Valley.
Trails, horseback riding, off road vehicle use,
mountain biking, fishing, camping and backpacking,
seasonal hunting, shooting and photography are
all popular recreational uses on the mountain.
Be prepared to bring your own water and firewood
and have an appropriate vehicle for a dirt/gravel
road if you plan to travel past the front side. All roads
past the base of Figueroa Mountain Road are narrow,
frequently steep with little shoulder room, and require
cautious driving.
